That was for you, that's how you get commit access to portage, so you can help fix this stuff.

Once again, read the document you have linked and then read the question from my original post which is - how can I avoid all that definitely excessive bureaucracy and just get stuff working? See what I mean?

By putting your hand on a more useful place than your face. No, we don't see what you mean; we became developers without any hassle, stuff is working fine here...

If stuff is working fine, how comes the gentoo quality is slowly going down the sewers? Why do you have an assload of ebuilds bugged? And why are you (and by you I mean the whole gentoo staff) is constantly whining for years about being understaffed?

I wouldn't call it whining, but... There is an endless amount of work. Are you going to prove that there is an end to it?

And I call it whining because it is whining. If you don't name things what they are, they don't stop being what they are. If you stop calling one a moron and begin being all friendly and kind, that won't make the guy suddenly smart - he still is and will be a moron. Stop making stupid excuses and admit that you (and by you again I mean the whole gentoo staff) have a problem, and you are unable to solve it (actually, you did it before, but doing it again won't hurt).

No, it isn't; because most of those aren't actual bugs but rather requests, refine your results and actually look into them instead of giving random query results.

I call your response rant because it is rant. If you don't show why things are the way they are, then stop using these things because you're doing more harm than good.

You're the one making excuses here because you can't prove your point or refute ours, just admit that you yourself are wrong; stop being a hater and show some respect, but well, haters gonna hate.

I don't have any problem; if I have one, feel free to point me at it and prove that I have a problem...

I'm sorry that you seem to have given up on gentoo, but lots of us are still loving it! We'll be here if you decide to rejoin us some time.

I have not given up on gentoo, otherwise I wouldn't be here trying to do something. I have just abandoned all hope for its staff to get things done. Mostly because of their incompetence.

The way I read the bug count, especially if you look at how many we've closed too... gentoo is already pretty great but lots of people still have lots of great ideas & aspirations to make things even better. There's never been a better time to be a gentoo user.

Because if it was hate, I would have strongly adviced you to rip off your jaw and stab yourself in the face to death with it. See the difference?
I used the words 'grown up' and 'not retarded' because you definitely stopped looking like an adult smart person right after posting those gifs.

Oh big difference you pedantic twat. FFS you behaved like an utter pr1ck on that bug, and you're doing the same now. Just step away from the keyboard and get some time out. You're either burning out, or you've always been a complete and utter dickhead. Pick one.

1. Patch not properly attached.
2. Keywords not changed to unstable, revision not changed.
3. No reason to drop perl, since the maintainer has it there very likely for a good reason; if not, a separate bug should likely document it.
4. vim-syntax USE should not pull in vim itself, horrible; it's not a run time dependency.
5. libfffi shouldn't be default.
6. redundant ${ECONF_SOURCE}/gentoo-build, should be set in ${S} instead
7. Likely doesn't use EAPI 5, there are dies behind the emake calls.
8. Can you contribute the developers a PPC machine they can test the cross compilation on?

Which patch? Attachments is empty.

Bug, need patch.

Waiting for response from an user, a patch or upstream

I can look for that stuff all night long.

None of above is directly actionable under the form of applying a change to the Portage tree but instead require considerable effort.

You see what we're getting at? So, yes, maybe you could look for stuff all night long; you'll need to gather quite some to get some reliable statistics...

No, I don't spend time grading responses that contain hate; the smallest bit is enough, not to forget that this all started out with a tantrum. The gifs have a meaning, you're yet to discover it...

Remember that this whole big thing is a volunteer effort. It's not very nice to start tossing insults at every random dev you contact just because you haven't yet found a dev who is willing and able to work on the specific issue you're looking at. Keep at it and keep being nice to the devs and I'm sure you'll find one who can help =)
